120ns or better. Good luck finding chips as slow as 120ns, though. I had to put
80ns ones in my machine, and that was about 3 years ago...

Huh?

If you mean "will the computer automatically recognise the extra memory," yes,
it will. If you mean to ask if you need to do anything else besides sticking the
expansion board in your computer, well, it depends on which upgrade kit you get.
Many people swear by kits that require soldering. I have a Z-RAM 3D which
required no soldering at all, and I haven't had a problem in the three years
I've been using it. Basically, it all comes down to how you're having it 
installed. If you're doing it yourself, and you can use a soldering iron,
go for the solder-installation model. If you've never used an iron, but
still want to do it yourself, get the plug in model. If you're having your
friendly neighborhood dealer (and just how many of those are left? Heck, at
this point I'd even settle for a HOSTILE neighborhood dealer!) do it, they'll
probably want to solder it in...

I'll say you're welcome, even!
